elping fund local research and educational programs, the American Heart Association recently hosted its Heart Ball in the Khorassan Room at The Chase Park Plaza in the Central West End. Like the ballroom itself, guests sported red in support of heart health. They enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while browsing auction items before dinner and a program in which the Hugh D. McCulloch Award went to Dr. Angela Brown. Heart disease and stroke are the No. 1 and third causes of death in the U.S. and, with other cardiovascular diseases, claim nearly 870,000 lives yearly.
